Default Unlock Phone with CM9

Is there any way I could unlock this phone with CM9 on it.

Yes, you can. Just plug in a SIM card from another carrier and it should prompt you like usual.

If you are talking about carrier unlock, you need to get a code for it. Try buying it online on eBay. Costs about 1.7 usd.

Installing cm9 or rooting the nitro will not get your phone carrier unlocked.

I just popped a non-AT&T sim into my locked Nitro with CM9 and didn't get any prompt for unlock code so I think this is probably true.

CM9 doesn't have HiddenSIMUnlockManu.apk so it will not prompt.
2001: Nokia 3310 => 2006: Sony Ericsson K800i => 2007: Toshiba G900 => 2010: iPhone 3g 8gb => 2010: iPhone 4 32gb => 2012: LG Nitro HD

so the only way to sim unlock is to restore stock nand, enter sim unlock code, then restore cm9?

DONATE TO ME
probably yes. or you could try pulling the HiddensimunlockManu.apk and installing it. There's a good chance it is also dependant on other stock .apk's and framework's etc.
Rather than having something go terribly wrong, I think most of us would say roll back to gingerbread if you can do so without bricking your device, unlock then flash CM9.

Unfortunately, to unlock your phone, you need to go back to the stock rom... I've just done it and it's a pain...
